Re: .XDD for extra MIDI ports

Thanks to the people who pointed out that "most" MIDI software 
rewrites the I/O routines. I was actually referring more to the 
public domain editors and librarians, which are more likely to use 
the BIOS routines. I'm not worried about more commercial products, 
because I already own Logic as my sequencer, and if I could afford a 
commercial editor/librarian, I'd buy Emagics own!

The other point about having .XDDs for extra MIDI ports was that once 
the drivers are written and available, people will be able to support 
them in _future_ programs. Whilst it would be nice to be able to 
redirect every program ever written, I accept that this is not going 
to happen. What I would like, though, is to be able to support the 
extra ports on my own programs.

Thanks again, and if anyone feels up to the challenge, you know where 
I am!
